.... from venial sins or undergo the temporal punishment. The ultimate happiness of their souls is supposed to be thus secured. The second part of “The Divine Comedy” that Dante wrote is Purgatorio (Purgatory). If I was chosen to be God, sinners would be sent to neither hell nor heaven, instead they would stay on earth. No one would commit an iniquitous act and be punishing to eternal damnation. If a person did commit an iniquitous act, there would be a punishment, but not a horrendous punishment by sending that person to hell. There is going to .....

.... himself. In Chaucer’s descriptive General Prologue of the character’s, the Pardoner is described in very unflattering terms. Chaucer states that he “had hair as yellow as wax....Hung down thinly…But sparsely it lay, by shreds here and there” (Hopper, 343). Also, described in the General Prologue the Pardoner is described as a “gelding or a mare” (Hopper, 44), the Pardoner is presented as apparently lacking the male sexual organs that would “allow him to assume a straightforward gender identity” (Patt .....

.... nothing”. It could be humorous that “nothingness” can provide such an interesting topic for the comedies of life. In life people care about details and worry about trouble, the little nothings made are soon forgotten. Thus, these “nothingnesses” are actually fragments of out real life. Seinfeld gathers the nothingness into a show, and it spreads out the idea that everything in the show that actually happens all around us. For example, losing the car in a parking garage, working for an eccentric boss and coping with the trials and tribulations of dating, it .....

.... away from home twice. Upon his graduation, seventeen year old Hemingway headed to Kansas City to enlist in World War I, in outright defiance of his parents objections. However the army rejected Hemingway, despite his repeated efforts, due to permanent eye damage incurred from his years of boxing.

.... of Oceania operates. It explains how a strong ruler can manipulate facts to fit his or her own intentions, which is often what socialist rulers may have done and still may do. Many of the ideas in 1984 were written to show predictions of what the world might be like if people did not question and act on what was happening around them. Orwell wrote 1984 after World War II when socialist governments which had gone wrong, like Russia, were becoming a powerful force in the world. Orwell, having once fought against Communist Russia, saw how much of a dangerous .....

.... Slaughterhouse-Five, published in 1969. The conviction of an antiwar book emerges more evidently in Slaughterhouse-Five. The main character, Billy Pilgrim (Vonnnegut himself), a soldier for the Allies during World War II and just like Vonnegut, is captured by the Nazis and held captive in Dresden where he witnesses the same tragedy as Vonnegut did. Pilgrim, however, comes out of the war a crazed lunatic. He has the hallucination that aliens (tralfamadores) abduct him and make him a exhibit in zoo. He greatly admires these trafalmadores because they have no s .....

.... ambition, but without the illness should attend it." (1.5.19-21). From the very same speech and small implications from the letter, we can tell that Macbeth was ambitious enough to want to be the King, but would not think of murdering Duncan. Because Lady Macbeth knew this, she also knew that she would have to push Macbeth into performing the deed and she starts by telling him "Thy letters have transported me beyond this ignorant present and I feel now the future in the present" (1.5.57-59) the moment they meet. From Macbeth’s reply "We will .....

.... Cassio in the process of annihilating Othello. Cassio is Othello’s Lieutenant. Other characters Iago exploit include his own wife Emilia and Desdemona herself. Iago goes to a lot of trouble to conquer Othello.

Roderigo is the first fall under Iago’s spell of manipulation. Roderigo is convinced that Iago is genuine and does everything Iago tells hi .....
